Default Compound angle milling?

I want to mill a 10* angle on the leading edge of a skid fin for my model
boats. The lead angle of the fin is 30* and I need the 10* "wedge" parallel
to the water line so the fin doesn't cause lift.

I think there's compund angles involved but I just can't see the setup,
here's some pix of what I'm trying to do:

Here's what it looks like in action:

The fin is that bit hanging off the right front sponson.

Any ideas?
